Hi Allen, 

Below is client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading){
if(isLoading)

{

return;

}

//start the validation

var change = g_form.getValue('u_change_type');
//if(newValue != '')
if(newValue != '' && (change != 'emergency' && change!=''))

{
var ga = new GlideAjax('ConfirmDate');
ga.addParam('sysparm_name', 'chkCurrDate');
ga.addParam('sysparm_date',g_form.getValue('start_date'));
ga.getXML(NewParse);
}
function NewParse(response){
var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
if(answer == 'false'){

//alert("Selected Date is in past, Select a valid date");

g_form.showFieldMsg("start_date","Selected Date is in past, Select a valid date","info",true);
g_form.setValue('start_date', ''); // Setting the variable as empty
}}
}

Script include:-

var ConfirmDate= Class.create();
ConfirmDate.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {
chkCurrDate : function() {

var start = this.getParameter('sysparm_date');
var currDay = gs.now();
if(start < currDay){
return false;
}
else
{ return true; } } });

Can we try....

g_form.showFieldMsg('start_date',"Test 123",'error');

Then from there, you can change it up a bit more, but let's bring it back to something more basic for now.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

No msg popped .

But past value was cleared from field as it was past date.

Hi,

Was that not happening before?

Actually, you know what...hmm...try clearing the field first THEN do your field message.

g_form.setValue('start_date', ''); // Setting the variable as empty
g_form.showFieldMsg('start_date', "Test 123", 'error');

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

It was happening before as well .

It was showing a alert msg.

//alert("Selected Date is in past, Select a valid date"); This was written.

Your above suggestion of writing it after clearing the field worked.

Thank you so much.

If i need to make it a info msg , then i have to replace "error" by "info" right?

No need to ErrorBox. "error" in showFieldMsg will work right?

Thank you so much for the help.
